Go to episodeCAS gave ABP Food Group a strong foundation for change
ABP wanted to transform their organisation and adopt Microsoft 365 (M365). This required a business case for change, so they approached Bytes for commercial support.
Our CAS team held several workshops with ABP to understand their business requirements, before building a commercial model that maximised the value of M365. This model enabled ABP to articulate the benefits of M365 and the business case was approved successfully.

Bytes CAS has delivered superbly, helping ABP to understand the complexities of Microsoft licensing and the impact on our business divisions. Without the insight that this service has provided, I am certain that ABP wouldn’t have been able to purchase Microsoft 365 with confidence.”
